A NATIONAL TAFE Day event will be held outside - instead of inside - the Tighes Hill campus this year, amidst an evolving industrial relations dispute.

The Australian Education Union established September 6 as National TAFE Day, which NSW Teachers Federation post-schools organiser Annette Bennett said traditionally saw unions and guests "welcomed" to visit and lead events on campuses such as morning teas or lunches to celebrate TAFE.
